La jeune Tarentine is a 1903 by Henri Fantin-Latour, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting depicts a woman in a flowing white dress, reclining on a dark surface. Her body is positioned at an angle, with her head turned towards the viewer. The woman's face is serene, and her hair is dark and pulled back. The background of the painting is dark, which contrasts with the woman's light-colored dress. The overall effect is one of quiet contemplation, as if the woman is lost in thought. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and dimensionality, drawing the viewer's eye to the woman's face and body.
